Gay in Uganda

Home - by - June 28, 2011 - 19:43 America/New_York - 70 Comments

A gay man goes to Uganda and learns that Ugandans don’t much care for them. In fact, they want gays dead or arrested.
The gay man says it’s because this is what they are taught by the church. Yet, while he sets about to teach them differently it doesn’t seem to dawn on him that he is doing exactly what he condemns the church for doing – indoctrination.
The left mocks the right for “nation building.” But my guess is that they would have little problem in transforming Uganda into a nation tolerant of gays.
Whatever side of the gay issue you are on, this seems awfully hypocritical.

    Yeah- Tell it to the muslims, right before they cut off your head with a hack saw. Unsterilized.

    The Church doesn’t exterminate gays – anymore. Some are even in the clergy and like boys, little boys.

    Gee, I wonder if the fact that huge numbers of people in Uganda died of AIDS has anything to do with the hostility to homosexuality. or how about the fact that a return to traditional sexual morality under the auspices of Christianity saved Uganda from annihilation by the HIV virus.

    What Uganda and the rest of Africa demonstrates is why there were taboos against liberine sexual activity in the first damn place; because it can wreck havoc in a society without an advanced health care system.

    Good luck libtard in trying to introduce liberal attitudes about sex into Uganda. They’ve already tried it and it killed millions of them. Try talking to them about the dangers of DDT while you’re at it

    So our hero has to go all the way to Uganda to find Citizens of a Christian nation who think homosexuals should be jailed or worse put to death.

    I wonder where he would go to find people who oppose Judeo-Christian traditions (like circumcision) and work diligently to undermind this basic building block of civil society? I imagine he could find subjects right down the block from where he calls home.

    @Jim,
    You want something that can not be had. The total acceptance of a behavior that the vast majority of the peoples of the earth find repugnant. Be happy you live here where its tolerated. You and your fellow homosexuals are not being exterminated in the U.S.A. To even suggest that is asinine! If fighting to end the brutal oppression of homosexuals is your cause and calling? I suggest you go where people ARE exterminating homosexuals. Try any muslim nation.

    Let me start by saying I DON’T CARE WHO YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING. OK?

    Now.

    It would be NICE if Jim would stop hijacking every single thread- no matter what it is, he finds gay bashing or somehow finds it necessary to make it about HIMSELF. He could be the first one on a thread about nothing in particular and he’ll STILL find a way to make one of his bullshit comments.

    He’s equally annoying on facebook. He hijacked not one, not two, but 3 of my threads that had absolutely NOTHING to do with gay straight or otherwise. Even my gay friends thought he was excessively dramatic and desperate as hell.
    That’s right, Jim, I HAVE GAY FRIENDS. Have you fainted yet?????? And you know what? They don’t feel the NEED to mention it every 5 minutes. WEIRD, HUH? They just like being referred to as a PERSON. *ZOMG!*

    And notice how Jim lumps EVERYONE into his dramas and insults them even when you AGREE with him?

    And Beethovenqueen, you wonder why people get annoyed with him? I don’t give a shit who you or Jim are fucking. Maybe you’d have to have Jim send you a death threat or two before you get annoyed as well?

    Whatever.

    @BeeQueen – Species procreate to advance the species. Homosexuality makes no contribution to the advancement of a species, which in nature, is the purpose of all species. It’s called survival. Fact: Homosexuality cannot contribute to procreation.

    It was a rhetorical question. I thought everyone would get it. Seemed simple to me. Sorry you missed it. Guess that’s the problem with message boards, there’s no inflection.

    Homosexual behavior is not ‘self-preservation’; it’s an urge, like sailors on a long sea voyage. Some don’t get the urge, some resist the urge, some don’t. Some just choke their 4-AAA battery powered chicken. Some just play with the dolphins when they extend their ‘finger of friendship’.

    No, stupid. I am reacting to this idiot on the video who sneers that the people have been taught not to accept homosexuality, so he is going to reteach them. Should we sneer if he succeeds? Should we just chalk up the acceptance of homosexuality to the teachings of the church of homosexuality?
    Get it yet, shit for brains?
    I made no judgment one way or the other on whether acceptance is right or wrong, just the logic of how this moron, and apparently you, think.
    Why is teaching the acceptance of homosexuality immediately noble and right?
    I’m tolerant of it.
    And I’m tolerant of those who aren’t tolerant of it.
    I think EYE have the moral high ground here, asshole.

    Frankly Jim, you have jumped the shark (not fully, you stopped half way to bang it in case it hadn’t heard you shriek that you’re gay.)

    I provided you with a forum, I even supported your agenda. But I no longer support your means.
    You are NOT a good ambassador for gay rights. You’re a better one for having gays get their asses beat.

    I should have banned you after you leveled death threats at the heteros, threats that included three e-mails to me where you said you were going to shoot me. All because I put up a graphic that had an unfortunate tag line made by the Virginia Tourist Center . Virginia Is For Lovers does not belong on a graphic with a man and a boy.
    You went ballistic saying I was attacking gays.
    Hmmm. You outed yourself there, Jim. I, and everyone else saw pedophilia, not homosexuality.
    I think the tirade that followed was a smoke screen meant as a red herring because you realized your error.

    I forgot to ban you.
    This just reminded me.
    Consider yourself banned after I allow you to get the final word.
    I’m nice like that.

    You have now crossed the line and I support BFH 1000% for blocking you from this site.

    @Beethovenqueen

    I made the unpopular choice of continually providing a forum for Jim, and lost readers because of it.
    I did it because I believe that gays have every right to love who they want to, and I don’t care how they go about expressing the most intimate aspects of that love in the privacy of their own homes. I really, really do not care. It bores me.

    I made Jim a judge in a contest. I referred to him as Our Gay Cousin. In other words, Jim was gonna be the iOTW guy who happened to be gay.

    But JIM could not handle that role. He was not tolerant of others. Oh, he played along for awhile, until the day he wrote that he was going to get a gun and shoot breeders from his porch at random because Michele Bachmann, or something like that.
    And then I put up a graphic about weird allusions to pedophilia and Jim e-mails me that he’s going to shoot me if he can find me.

    I don’t recall anyone on iOTW saying they were going to kill homosexuals, and if they did they would be banned.

    I tried a grand experiment, but the subject was Abby Normal.

    I’ll try Nathan Lane. Everyone loves him and he manages to not wear I AM GAY on his sleeve, and he can discuss a topic without bobbing and weaving for the gay angle.

    That is VERY off-putting.

    A small historical correction:
    The “Virginia is for Lovers” tourist campaign started at latest in the early 1970′s, back when that photo didn’t suggest the things our currently degraded culture perceive. So, it wasn’t an unfortunate tagline added on to the photo, just the opposite.

    FWÌW, following soon on the heels of the wild success of this Virginia campaign, Maryland – home to Annapolis and much seafood – started their own, with “Maryland is for crabs.”
